Chapter 192: Mediocre Arcane Mage (Three-in-One)
The reputation of Bernoulli Mage Tower in Shenjiao City has quickly fallen to the bottom as the insect invasion incident continues to ferment.
All the newspapers were playing up the story.
The reason for the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon's invasion was attributed to the fact that the arcane mages of Bernoulli Land were unwilling to fight head-on, and wanted to drive the local arcane mages, knights, and mercenaries to work hard and die for him.
Obviously, behind these newspapers, there are the handwritings of Christiansen Furious and others.
However, Bernoulli was criticized for his reluctance to personally come to open up the frontier of the war. You must know that he is the protagonist of the war.
The Cuihai Valley development war was an application submitted by Bernoulli personally to Offata.
"The local arcane mages in Shenjiao City are disgusted with the arcane mages from outside. They came to the local area to launch a pioneering war, which also caused a lot of complaints against the Black Snake family." Duke thought in his heart, "If Bernoulli doesn't change his reputation, Cuihai Town will After it is established, I'm afraid not many people will be willing to go."
The blame in the newspapers now is more of a warning to Bernoulli from Keystone and others.
If Bernoulli continues to cheat, Shenjiao City will never cooperate or support him and continue to wage war against Cuihai Valley.
Duke finished reading one page of "Daily Shenjiao City".
The office door finally opened, and Erwin, the Arcane Mage who had met once before, personally escorted another middle-aged Arcane Mage out.
When the middle-aged arcane mage passed by, he smiled gently at Duke and then entered the spiritual ladder.
"Duke, come in and talk." Erwin, the Arcane Mage, looked at Duke with a kind smile, then turned and entered the office.
Duke followed.
"My lord, what do you want from me?" Duke asked.
"I told you before that you have the talent of a scholar, right? I remember that you had an epiphany under the No. 3 mine in Cuihai Valley?" Erwin asked. He still remembered meeting Duke. Scenario: "How many visions do you have now?"
"I'm ashamed that since that epiphany, I haven't had another opportunity, so there are still nine visions."
The visions of the exclusive meditation method, if you want to have an epiphany, the opportunity is very good Importantly, even for a genius like Duke, it is difficult for him to have epiphanies often.
"The nine types are already very good. Among the first-level arcane mages, they should be at the forefront." Erwin said with a smile.
His assistant brought Duke coffee.
Duke politely thanked you and responded: "Thanks to the accumulation of spiritual apprenticeship, otherwise I wouldn't have achieved so many visions." "Keep up the good work,
you have just been promoted, spirituality favors you, and you have enough time to collide with opportunities. ." Erwin said perfunctorily, maybe he didn't feel that the nine kinds of visions were anything, "I heard from people below that you have applied for a lot of patents recently?" "Yes."
Duke replied calmly.
While reading the newspaper outside, he thought about why Erwin was looking for him. It could only be that the recently registered patent was too high-profile.
"So, did you come up with all these patents yourself?" Erwin looked at the information in his hand, "Pocket lamp, miner's lamp, table lamp, searchlight... You improved the Lingfeng lamp. This is indeed a good improvement direction. Opened a new company?"
"Uh, yes."
"It's developing very well. There are few new Arcane mages who can do things like you, and you are still so young, one year younger than that girl Kylia. Right...Have you ever considered coming to work for me after graduating from Penrose Master Tower?"
Duke was a little embarrassed by such a bare-bones recruitment: "I haven't thought about it so much for the time being, I just want to learn the card-making technology well. ."
"You are right to think so, but you are talented in natural history. Don't live up to this talent. You can think more about it."
Erwin then chatted with Duke for a while, and then said: "Okay Okay, that's all for today. I have to go to the Union Tower for a meeting later." "
Then I'll take my leave first."
Dizzy Huhu came over, and Dizzy Huhu left.
Duke had no clue what he was thinking about Erwin's Arcane Mage. He always felt like he was recruiting, but it didn't quite fit the opponent's identity as a fourth-level Arcane Mage.
I couldn't think clearly, so I stopped thinking: "Never mind it, I'll do mine."
After Duke left, Erwin's secretary walked into the office and advised Erwin while refilling his glass. : "Grandpa, what you are doing is too rude. Mr. Penrose is also a member of the Five Towers Council, so you must respect him." "Why do you respect him?
I'm not competing for students with him." Erwin snorted.
"But if you say so bluntly that you want Duke to come and work for you, what's the difference between robbing Mr. Penrose's students? Many arcane mages outside have expressed dissatisfaction with your move." "Let them be dissatisfied, natural history.
" It is the foundation for the long-term development of the Seven Towers Federation. How can mediocre people understand what I do." "
You can definitely recruit a few more students."
"What do you know." Erwin glanced at his great-grandson, " If the family thinks like you, I think it’s better not to launch a pioneering war in the future. Sooner or later, it will decline... I really have to openly use the mage tower to rob students to attract people’s attention, understand." The secretary didn’t know what he thought of, and
suddenly He sighed and said: "Actually, when the Black Snake family sent someone to contact you, you could have taken over, Grandpa. The Cuihai Valley development war belongs to our family." "Haha, what next, are you going to hunt the Black Jade Horseshoe
Crab Dragon?" "
I No way, Grandpa, you know a lot of people."
"It doesn't matter if you know a lot of people. Look, Bernoulli can't sit still anymore. He is sending students to me for help and asking for help from Runwu City. Even if the hunt for the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon is really completed, Cuihai Valley will still have to allocate half of its resources!" "
Then there is still half left..."
"Gungungun, short-sighted boy, how could I give birth to you bastards? Damn it, no one can inherit my will!" Erwin was so angry that he slammed the table, "Next time you talk nonsense to me, go back to your hometown and don't follow me!" ... "
Sir
, you said Ms. Kiliya, When will it come? I really want to see this beautiful lady of heaven as soon as possible."
The assistant sat on the bench and said boredly.
While reading, Duke responded casually: "It will come naturally when it comes."
But his heart was a little sour, and he felt that the arcane mages in Shenjiao City were not as noble as they imagined, and they were just a bunch of sluts.
When he was promoted to arcane mage at the age of sixteen, he could at most be called a genius arcana mage.
No one ever called him the proud man of heaven.
Now Kilia Furtao was promoted to Arcane Mage at the age of eighteen. As a result, before she even showed up, a group of people outside were touting her as the sweet girl of heaven.
Put down the book.
Duke finished the coffee on the table and handed it to Mulali: "Go and make another cup. I'm going to start working."
His office occupies half a floor, and there is a private laboratory inside, where you can conduct various tasks directly in the office. kind of experiment.
The spiritual magnetic wave capture experiment and the slide card superposition experiment are all conducted here.
However, there is no progress for the time being, and Duke has given up on the illusion of immediate results and is preparing to fight for a long time. Anyway, all the consumables can be transferred to his research group in the tower, and Penrose Mage Tower can pay for his own experiments.
"Sir, your coffee is here." Mulali happily delivered the coffee.
"Happy?" Duke asked.
"Can you guess why I'm happy?" Mulali pretended, looking at Duke with an expectant expression on her pretty face.
He raised his eyebrows.
Duke held his head high, narrowed his eyes, and said calmly: "Is it Kilia Furious Wave who came to the Mage Tower to report?" "My
lord, you are always so wise!" Mulali marveled, "How did you guess that? , I didn't reveal anything?"
"You have been looking forward to Kiriya, and now you look so happy, I don't need to guess." "
Vikas's assistant came to inform that we would have dinner at the castle tavern in the evening. , welcome Ms. Kilia to the big family."
"I understand."
"There is one more thing, sir, you must not have guessed." Mulali secretly smiled.
"What's going on?" Duke saw Mulali's cute look and couldn't help but reach out and pinch her cheek.
Not only did Murali not hide away, but she looked at Duke with charming eyes and said in a greasy voice: "Ms. Kiliya's office is arranged next to ours. The one originally occupied by Sir Shanfeis. She works with us. I have a neighbor."
"Speak up!" Duke patted Mulali on the head, "Don't act like an adult." "
I've grown up, sir!"
"Haha."
"It's true, I'm very I'm six years old. When I was in my hometown, there were many people getting married at the age of sixteen. Sir, don't treat me like a child." Duke knocked on
Mulali's forehead: "Practice hard and don't think about all the things. ."
After sending the assistant away, he calmed down and continued his experiments. He stayed busy until work in the evening before walking out.
After arriving at the tavern, I found that I was the last one to arrive.
"I'm just waiting for you, Duke. Come on, let me introduce you." Assistant Vikas was the most enthusiastic in communication. He turned to the wavy blonde girl who stood up from the sofa chair and said, "This is Genius Arcana Mage, genius card maker, Duke!"
Duke smiled and stretched out his hand: "Hello."
Kilia Furious Wave turned around, and the first impression she gave Duke was that she had an elegant temperament and an innate kind. Come in aristocratic style.
The facial features are beautiful and delicate, and besides the beautiful face, there is also a trace of baby fat.
The large arcanist robes concealed her figure, but through the undulations on her silhouette, one could still imagine that she was tall and plump.
She was promoted to arcane mage at the age of eighteen, and her talent may not be enough to be called the sweet daughter of heaven, but with her temperament and famous family background, it would not be offensive at all to describe her as the sweet daughter of heaven.
"Hello, Duke, I've heard of you. We are the youngest arcane mage in Shenjiao City. It's an honor to work with you." Kylia's voice is very nice, with a hint of firmness in her softness. , people will feel good about it as soon as they hear it.
She was at least 1.7 meters tall and wore a pair of high heels, which made her appear taller than Duke.
Duke is currently 1.8 meters tall, and I don't know if he still has room to grow taller.
When shaking hands, although Duke felt that the other party's hands were soft, he could tell that the other party's handshake was strong.
"I am also honored to work with Ms. Kilia."
The two smiled politely at each other.
"Come on, everyone, sit down, let's eat and drink and chat." Assistant Vikas continued to liven up the atmosphere, "Kilia can come to our Penrose Mage Tower. This is our fate. As a pioneer in the field of spiritual arcana, We must help her as she takes a few steps."
Drinking and chatting, the atmosphere became lively.
Duke was not very enthusiastic at the wine table. He had the mentality of a bystander who was aloof from the incident, watching his former colleagues who were aloof and arrogant, greeting Kiriya.
Until the dinner is over, everyone separates.
"Sir, Ms. Kiliya is so beautiful. She is the most beautiful and elegant among all the ladies I have ever seen." The
assistant was already overwhelmed by Kiliya's charm, as if she had found the idol in her life.
Being beautiful, having a good family background, being talented, and having a lovable personality may be what every woman imagines herself to be.
"And she's so approachable. She doesn't have any airs when talking to us."
"Really." Duke looked out the window, noncommittal.
He is not a fool. His experiences before and after time travel have made it clear to him that such a beautiful girl from a wealthy family may be approachable on the surface, but the arrogance in her heart will definitely repel people thousands of miles away. Friendliness is only for them. External posture.
He thought back to the small conversation he had with Kirya in the tavern.
Of course, beautiful means beautiful. She is probably the most beautiful woman he has met since time travel. She has wavy blond hair, beautiful facial features and baby fat, and is tall and has a vaguely plump figure.
He speaks softly but doesn't sound artificial.
Aesthetically speaking, it's all in his favor.
But Duke clearly felt that the other party was not that silly and sweet.
Although the depth of the other person's thoughts cannot be seen from the brief exchange, she can make everyone feel like a spring breeze and feel that she is someone they can get close to. It can be seen that Kiriya definitely has good communication skills.
"This is in line with the image of the elite cultivated by the old aristocrats."
Of course, there is no need to tell others this. Just stay sober and rational, don't be fooled by beauty, just get carried away by impulse.
Suddenly he thought of the two great knights guarding Kiriya.
"I always feel that they have a familiar aura on them, like...like the aura of a fantasy beast!" Duke was suddenly shocked. He had felt this aura from Muhans Black Snake, "In other words, Kiri Ya's bodyguards are the Phantom Beast Knights!"
Two rare Phantom Beast Knights serve as bodyguards.
This made him secretly exclaim: "It's really a card that only veteran nobles can use. Gee, some people were born in Rome." At this time,
Kylia, who was born in Rome, also took the shuttle and returned to Keith. Dun mage tower.
Master Keyston's Tower is the tallest building in the entire Shenjiao City. It is built on a hilltop on the northern outskirts of the city. It towers into the clouds and can reach up to three to four hundred meters.
The frame made entirely of spiritual gold cannot collapse even if it encounters a magnitude 10 earthquake.
The area where the mage tower is located also has a magnificent castle, which covers the entire low mountain, as if it is a country of its own.
The largest aristocratic family in the Heijiao River, the Nu Tao family, lives here and has accompanied the development of Shenjiao City from the beginning to its current situation.
"Miss Kilia, you're back. I've asked you to come over here after I tell you to come back." The deputy housekeeper in a tuxedo was waiting aside.
Kiriya nodded with a smile: "Okay, Butler Ji'an, I'll change my clothes and go find Grandpa Zu."
After changing out of the Austrian mage's robe and putting on a floral skirt, Kiriya followed Butler Ji'an and took the exclusive spirit car. Ladder, go straight to the top of the tower above the sky.
Clouds wrapped around the waist of the Keyston Wizard Tower, hiding the upper half.
Through the clouds, you can look at the top of the tower. The top of the tower is not pointed, but built into a wide garden.
There is a two-story villa in the garden.
Ding dong.
The end of the spiritual ladder is located in a small cabin in front of the villa. Kilia followed Butler Ji'an out of the cabin.
In the flower bed at the door of the villa, the old gardener, who was trembling when he walked, took off his hat and saluted Kiriya: "Miss Kiriya, I say hello to you." "
Hello, Grandpa Jiping."
After entering the villa, a man at the door was dragging his feet. The aunt on the ground immediately smiled and saluted: "Miss Kiriya, the master is waiting for you." "
Thank you for reminding me, Butler Gina, I'll be there right away." Kiriya responded gently.
All the housekeepers and servants in the top garden are very old. They have been accompanying the owner of the villa since they were young. When they can no longer work, their descendants will replace them and continue to serve the owner of the villa.
Generation after generation, many births, old age, illness and death.
Only the owner of this villa, Christian Fury, has remained unchanged. His golden, lion-like curly hair is the eternal brightness of the villa.
"Grandpa, Kylia is here to see you." The eighteen-year-old Tianzhi girl, with a charming smile on her face, walked gently into the house.
The old man with blond curly hair in the study put down the book in his hand, raised his head, and showed a kind smile: "My little dragon is back." "Grandpa, you are making fun of
me again."
"This is not a joke, eighteen years old " Grandpa,
you have become a fifth-level arcane mage. Among those arcane mages who were promoted earlier than you, no one can reach your level." Achievements." Kilia walked behind Christian and slapped him on the shoulder skillfully.
Christian laughed like an ordinary old man: "Of course, Grandpa is the best at accumulating knowledge."
Then Christian asked: "Little Kylia, on the first day of training at Master Penrose Tower, how are you doing with your classmates? " Do we all know each other?"
"Yes, we do."
"Did anyone bully you?"
"How could it be? Everyone is very friendly. We had a drink together in the tavern and chatted about some words to enhance our relationship."
" It's fine if no one bullies you. If anyone dares to bully you, Grandpa will spank Penrose."
Kiliya chuckled.
Penrose is already a grandfather, but he still needs to be spanked. But if you think about it carefully, Penrose, who is eighty or ninety years old, is indeed a child compared to Keyston, who is one hundred eighty or ninety years old.
"By the way, are there any of these classmates who made a deep first impression on you?" Christian asked casually.
Kiria thought for a while: "It seems like there is no such thing."
"I remember there was an arcane mage who was younger than you, right?" "
Yes, there is, his name is Duke."
"There is an arcane mage who is younger than you, right? Didn't this Duke leave a deep impression on you?"
"Before I met, I had expectations. I wanted to meet Duke, who was promoted to arcane mage at the age of sixteen, but after meeting, I found that he didn't. It's very special." Kylia thought about the scene of the tavern dinner, "My personality is a bit taciturn, maybe it has something to do with my experience, but I'm pretty mature and steady anyway." "Isn't it arrogant?" "No." "Oh, it
's
boring
. "Kiston shook his head and sighed, "It seems that he is also a mediocre arcane mage. It is really worrying. The younger generation of arcane mages are already dying. You can have some use for the spirituality of the Black Dragon River!"
" Grandpa Youzu, you have the overall situation under control." Kilia comforted.
"Grandpa doesn't want to work until he dies of old age. He is one hundred and ninety years old and still has no peace of mind..." Christian shook his head repeatedly.
Then he commented on his colleagues: "Williams' way of doing things is more healthy than your grandfather and me; Erwin is keen on doing things, but the structure is too small, and he wants to pull everything into his tower; as for Stephen Yihu, A brain full of muscles...it’s so useless!”
Kiriya just giggled.
These are all fourth-level arcane mages, and they are not something she, a junior, can comment on casually.
"Okay, okay, you must be annoyed by an old man chatting with me." "How
could that be? It would be fun to chat with Grandpa."
"Haha, Grandpa was really known for his humor when he was young. Humor is famous in Shenjiao City..." Remembering the past, Kisson waved his hand and said, "Grandpa, I'm tired. You should go back and rest early. Since you choose to learn card making, you must work hard for it." "
Kili Ya understand."
...
Duke didn't know that he got the evaluation of a "mediocre arcane mage" from Christian Fury.
He was sitting cross-legged on the big bed in his villa. His whole image had been completely transformed, with pointed ears, green eyes, flowing blond hair, a tall figure and pale skin.
It is the elf form after merging with the chicken.
With the blessing of the elf form, all aspects of physical fitness have been greatly improved, including the efficiency of cultivation.
So now every day at night, he merges with the chicken, and then practices breathing methods, blood refining methods, and meditation methods.
Look within the spiritual sea.
The ring formed by the spiritual core already has multiple protrusions, which are vaguely trying to pull the absolutely circular ring into a complex energy line circuit.
This is the practice of an arcane mage. With the in-depth study and understanding of spiritual arcana, the spiritual core that represents the logic of the arcane operation of one's own arcana gradually evolves into a complete spell model. When the logical limit is reached, it can move to the second level. A ring transition.
At that time, he will be promoted to the 2nd level arcane mage.
The research on spiritual arcana cannot stop, nor can the exclusive meditation method - cognition is the means of casting spiritual cores, and the raw materials required for casting are the free spiritual particles from the outside world that the meditation method continuously absorbs.
"Ah...chichi." Xiao Dou woke up from his drowsiness. It was a habit he had developed since he was a child. When it came time to practice the blood refining method, he dozed off.
"Go play." Duke waved.
Little Kabuto jumped out of the window and went to find the friends he had made in Beverly Manor. There are many knights in this community, so there are also many contracted spirit beasts. Many of them are free-range in the community and can move freely.
"Chichi!"
"Meow."
Kabuto's cry came from the yard, and the black-spotted serval cat Mimi responded perfunctorily. It was obvious that Kabuto wanted to take Mimi out to play with him.
Mimi is a lady with the same upright temperament as Vivian and has little interest in going out to play.
At this time.
Duke suddenly frowned, and then a feeling of being torn came over him, and he had already exited the elf state.
Along with it, the somewhat languid little chicken said: "I'm so tired, hurry up and replenish my spiritual crystal."
Click, click.
A spiritual crystal was chewed up and swallowed by the chicken.
Then he glanced sideways at Duke: "I'm really a hard-working working chicken. I have to be pulled by the hateful Duke to work together every day."
Duke smiled slightly and said: "If you don't want to eat the spiritual crystal, you can choose to refuse."
"This is part-time work. The tragic fate of the chicken, for a mere piece of rotten stone, he became the slave of the evil capitalist Duke!" "
This piece of rotten stone is not cheap. The standard piece is 25 gold dragons. An ordinary family of three cannot eat enough food for 25 gold dragons in ten years. "
Humph, are we an ordinary family?"
"So you are complaining, go to the sea of air and sleep." Duke gave the chick a chestnut. This foul-mouthed elf would not feel well without a slap. .
"Wait for me!" The chicken said harshly, bumped into Duke's stomach, and disappeared.
Duke got up and got out of bed and walked to the corner of the room. There was a cardboard box in the corner. Inside, the fat maggot Xiaohong, who should have been eating non-stop, had pupated.
It stops motionless and secretes special mucus from its body to wrap itself into a cocoon.
At this time, the cocoon in the cardboard box is as big as an ostrich egg.
"After it pupates, it emerges from the cocoon and becomes an adult... I have to build a nest for Xiaohong, and I can't keep it at home anymore."
Duke thought intently.
